In summer, the sweat gland pores of the human body open and sweat oozes, which is the period when the human body's resistance drops. In extremely hot weather, if the air conditioner or fan catches cold carelessly, the body's regulation mechanism will suddenly block the sweat pores, and heat and sweat will not leak out, and heat will be suppressed in the human body, and a hot cold will occur. The course of a hot cold is about 3-7 days. At first, it is often manifested as nasopharyngeal discomfort, such as stuffy nose and runny nose, accompanied by heavy head and fatigue. With the progress of the disease, the alar thickens, followed by fever, cough, sore throat and severe discomfort of limbs.

For human viscera, the liver qi gradually weakens and the heart qi gradually increases in the long summer. At this time, the diet should increase acid and reduce bitterness, tonify the kidney and help the liver.

Experts point out that this kind of spasmodic abdominal pain is caused by eating food that has just been taken out of the refrigerator. The temperature of human stomach is generally around 36℃, while the food just taken out of the refrigerator is only 2℃-8℃. The gastrointestinal tract is stimulated by intense hypothermia, which leads to physiological dysfunction. So put the food out of the refrigerator for a while before eating, and don't eat too much at once.
